I know there is some concern about Derrick Rose and how his numbers are down, but it’s way too early to worry about him. We all knew coming into the season that he was dealing with a bum ankle. It’s just a matter of when it is going to get better for him. No one knows how much pain or discomfort, if any, he’s experiencing right now. It takes time to get through some injuries and you have to remember he missed almost the entire preseason. Derrick is determined to play through it and he’s going to have some up and down games. In this game and in this league, there is not a whole lot of time for recovery. But I don’t think he’s playing bad basketball. He’s doing what he has to do to get through this rough start and he puts his team first. Meanwhile, they’ve still managed to win some games despite Derrick not being at his best. He probably could be a little more assertive on the offensive end and Derrick knows that. He’ll get there. He’s also getting better defensively. He’s a big, strong kid who isn’t afraid to go inside and mix it up and come away with some rebounds. That’s his game and those things will come in time as he builds up his confidence in terms of his ankle.
